Tia Clair Toomey's book
The athlete wrote a book about how she became the fittest woman on the planet.
Among other things, she explained that although she was clearly a good candidate to win the CrossFit Games, she still had something very important to do. Her physical qualities were undisputed, but she still had to do a change in her mind, and move to a much more positive mentality.
Husband
Shane Orr is Toomey's husband and trainer.
There are many people who are surprised to see Tia's success with her husband as coach. It is hard to understand that the same person has these two roles that can be so contradictory, but no doubt they have found the perfect formula.
PRVN, Toomey and Shane's programming
Proven is the English term that could be translated as "demonstrated". Athletes who win the Games receive T-shirts with their place (1,2 or 3) and the word PROVEN. A way of saying that they have proven their worth.
Both are owners of the PRVN training platform where they train athletes such as: Brooke WellsWill Moorad, Saxon Panchik and Alec Smith among others.
Nutrition of the fittest woman on the planet
Tia recognizes that nutrition is the hardest part of the whole preparation process for competitions. To have an optimal performance at this level of competition without a doubt you must follow a diet based on real food.
The Australian admits that it is a struggle for her because declares himself to be a junk food lover.
